This Week's Gospel: Mark 13: 33 - 37
(30th-Nov-2008) 1st Sunday of Advent, Year B

Stay awake, because you do not know when the master of the house is coming.
This reading comprises the after part of the first capitulum given, paras 4 - 6, and the beginning of the second, paras 1 - 9. The reading is richly interwoven from all three synoptics.

CXLVI. De parabola ficulneæ.
(Of the parable of the fig tree.)
CXLVII. Ubi Ihesus diem iudicii adversus tempora Noe et Loth adsimulavit et de fidele et prudente dispensatore.
(Where Jesus compared the day of judgement with the times of Noe and Lot, and of the faithful and wise servant.)


146: 4
And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness and the cares of this life: and that day come upon you suddenly: for as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.
5
Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come and to stand before the Son of man.
6
For ye know not when the time is. For of that day and hour no one knoweth, neither the Son nor the angels in heaven, but the Father alone.

147: 1
And as in the days of Noe, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For, as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, even until that day in which Noe entered into the ark, and they knew not until the flood came and took them all away: so also shall the coming of the Son of man be.
2
Likewise as it came to pass in the days of Lot. They did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built: and in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.
3
Then he that is on the housetop, let him not come down to take any thing out of his house, and he that is in the field, let him not go back to take his garment. Remember Lot’s wife.
4
Then two shall be in the field. One shall be taken and the other shall be left. Two women shall be milling together. One shall be taken and one shall be left, two men in one bed: one shall be taken and the other shall be left.
5
They answering, say to him: Where, Lord? He said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
6
Even as a man who, going into a far country, left his house and gave authority to his servants over every work and commanded the porter to watch.
7
Watch ye therefore, for you know not when the lord cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning, lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping.
8
But this know ye, that, if the householder knew at what hour the thief might come, he would certainly watch and would not suffer his house to be broken open. And therefore be you also ready, because at what hour you know not the Son of man will come.
9
And Peter said to him: Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us, or likewise to all?
What indeed I say to you, I say to all: Watch.
